2. Yep, they're one of my favorite fried foods!

[sui generis]

3. towanda-a-a-a--aaaaaaaa!

[BikeWriter]

7. LOL!! I can't recall hearing that precise response before.

[BikeWriter]

11. I looked "Towanda" up. I get the reference now. :-)

[Left Is Write]

4. Never had one, would love to try them!

[BikeWriter]

8. Oh, Lady, you don't know what you've been missing!

[BroadwayBrat]

5. I love them!

[BikeWriter]

9. Me, too. I love them as much or more than okra and yellow squash.

[JohnKleeb]

6. I'd prefer fried potatoes but I guess I could have one

[BikeWriter]

10. Oh, you have to try them!

[In_The_Wind]

12. you bet!

[BikeWriter]

22. salivating

Thanks to a DUer's thread on Friday night I bought one ( 1 ) tomato plant (it's so hard to buy just one) and organic soil .... because I love a fresh picked tomato sandwich with Hellman's mayo.

... now I'll begin the long wait for hot summer days followed by cool August nights to ripen the vegetables for a perfect afternoon treat.

I'm sure I'll snag a few green ones to fry ... oops my Southern is showing :blush:

[BikeWriter]

23. Yes'm, I saw these at the store, and a friend I was with said...

my face lit up! I bought some porkchops, too. I'm not sure yet whether I'll fry up some of those or just do tomatoes. :)

[In_The_Wind]

29. whatever you choose to do- I'm sure you'll both enjoy it

BTW :beer:goes well with either or both

[BikeWriter]

33. That's very true! :-)

[johnnie]

13. Love 'em

I need some now.

[BikeWriter]

16. I'll eat an extra serving for you, Pard! :-)

[johnnie]

18. Thanks

:thumbsup:

[BikeWriter]

24. You're welcome! :-)

[ceile]

14. My Mom's are the best!

I don't know where she learned to cook them (she's not your typical southern woman where cooking's concerned), but they are sooooo yummy!

[BikeWriter]

17. You've got a good Mom, then. :-)

[swag]

19. Fucking yes, please.

I don't know if I like 'em better from back home or from Bernie's Southern Bistro.

[BikeWriter]

25. I like 'em better anywhere I can get them. ;-)

[donheld]

20. Yes indeed

I haven't had any for ages.

[BikeWriter]

26. Oh, I'm sorry, Don. My ex and I used to pig out on them...

regularly. They're probably one of the few things she misses about me. :(

[texas1928]

21. GAG

Sorry Tomatos of any kind make me gag.

[BikeWriter]

27. Dayum, that's a terrible problem, Pard! Maybe it can be cured.

[funkybutt]

28. Depends on the sauce

Down here there is a lot of variety but I've rarely come across any I didn't like.

[BikeWriter]

31. I love catsup with them, but I'm thinking of Marie Rose Sauce...

Mix catsup, salad dressing, lemon juice, a dash of Worchestershire Sauce, and a dash of Tabasco sauce. It's great with fries, onion rings, shrimp, fish, or as a salad dressing. I'm salivating in anticipation. :)

[funkybutt]

40. Down here at restaurants it's usually served

with a rémoulade usually with crabmeat too....MMMMMM!!!

[BikeWriter]

45. Ooh, that sounds good!

[TheProphetess]

30. Tried them for the first time last summer in Georgia

They're hard to get here in Ohio but I had them while the Prophet was living in Georgia. We had lunch in Warm Springs at a really tiny diner - oh my they were good! :9

[BikeWriter]

32. Ooh, I'm glad you loved them. I have to have some now and then...

I've been addicted for years.

[Bonhomme Richard]

34. Fried in bacon fat with bits of bacon and.......................

Flour mixed in to make a white gravy.

Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[BikeWriter]

35. I like them with cream gravy. I don't think I'll cook it this time. :-)

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

36. That's a southern dish isn't it.?

They fry damn near everything

[BikeWriter]

37. Yep, we do. I love it! :-)

[Mrs_Beastman]

38. The only southern food I like

[BikeWriter]

41. That leaves more of everything else for the rest of us...

but I'm glad you like them. :-)

[trof]

39. I've actually had them at the "Whistlestop Cafe".

It was the Irondale Cafe, in Irondale, Alabama, just outside of Birmingham.

[Huckebein the Raven]

42. Pass them 'round please

:9

[BikeWriter]

44. I never quit cooking until everyone's full! :-)

[BikeWriter]

46. Hmm, that platefull went quickly. I'm considering frying more...
